GOOD ONE!!!!!!!! Yes, Bunnie's got it right, I think, the poor man had glutened himself and had to take quite an extended break. Next time, I'll check fer the fetid, reeking bucket (from a distance) and just nod knowingly at him......

Got a better idea, Soooozie - - next time ya see him heading reluctantly into his trailer, holding his breath and pacing about before barging through the gate, tell him you'll allow him to empty his fetid bucket into your toilet - - for three front lawn treatments.

.......so I click on things.......and then......and then I have to select other things and........then I had to play a freakin' game all of a sudden and.........invite my friends.... :blink:

I'm going to ignore things now, when it prompts me to do sumfin'. So if you sent a drink or a furry pet or some karma or a green patch, thank you, 'twere all lovely. :lol:

Yes...... . . I phrequently get poked.. . .. .tickled. . ....rarely hugged or given stuffed things.

Can you grab someone?

How about biting, or taking a swing at someone? :lol:

....That's another Book.... . . . .....

but............what can it mean????????

Em will know. ;)

Now, the novel that Janet has begun. .. . .......

Just wait for the Zulu gym member, an exchange student, to enter mysteriously into the heroine's life. He begins to scoot along her living room carpet and steal her Vaneli sandals...... ...she is at a loss, knows not where to turn - - until one evening she sits transfixed in front of her television, watching this K-Tel advertisement:

For all of you that have been anxiously waiting, here is the answer to your questions about my balls.

Gluten Free Meatballs

The main recipe for meatballs calls for bread crumbs. We make these from Glutino Fiber Bread, but other gluten-free breads should work equally well. It is best for this purpose when it has been defrosted for at least a day, or that fresh bread is at least a day old. Tear it into pieces and then use the pulse setting on a blender or food processor until the desired consistency is achieved. Unused crumbs can be placed in a sealed container and stored in the freezer. If measuring frozen crumbs for a recipe, allow extra. We find 1 1/4 cups of frozen defrosts to about 1 cup.

Hmm, maybe this should be a secret recipe. It has eleven four different herbs and spices. :lol:

Preheat oven to 400F (200C)

15x10 inch pan, lightly greased (or use PAM)

Makes about 45-50 meatballs.

1 1/2 lbs extra lean ground beef (750g)

1 egg, lightly beaten

1 cup gluten-free bread crumbs (see above) (250 ml)

1 tbsp dried parsley flakes (15 ml)

1 tbsp dried basil (15 ml)

1 tbsp dried oregano (15 ml)

1/4 tsp ground black pepper (1 ml)

You can use fresh instead of dried herbs by doubling the measure, that is, 2 tbsp or 30 ml.

In a large bowl, gently mix together beef, egg, bread crumbs, parsley, basil, oregano and ground pepper. Shape into 1 inch balls. Place in single layer on prepared pan.

Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until no longer pink in the center.

To Freeze: Cool slightly then freeze baked meatballs on the jelly roll pan. Once frozen, remove from the pan and place in a heavy-duty freezer bag. They won't stick together. Remove as needed and add directly to sauce, or microwave until just thawed before adding to sauce.

The picture was taken while cooling after baking and before freezing.

Bon appetit.

Here is the syntax you need. I will include it twice, first as the actual bb code, and then again substituting braces for the brackets so you can see the structure.

Oh, dear gawd..... . ...My ineptidude for this kind of thing is astonishing and amuses many. . . . . I just begin to read these brief, straightforward instructions from PeOter, and my heart is racing, my brain screaming..... . .. . . ...gaaaaaaaaahhhhh....... .. ....!!! :wacko:

PeOter! I have done meatballs with ingredients exactly like this, except I've used gluten-free rolled oats in place of the bread crumbs. Also delish, and at times easier, as I always have oats handy and rarely old gluten-free bread to sacrifice... . . . ...thanks fer this recipe!

..... .. I am CERTAIN that your balls are better than mine...... .....

My recipe fer balls is almost identical to PeOter's. As fer the technical link instructions..... :blink::lol:

It's rainin' big burly workmen over at Em's!!! :o Wif a group like that, you should have yer hot tub installed stat!!!

I've got a guy comin' over in about a half hour, meself. Our pond has been leaking and we are now noticing one of the basement walls (the one nearest the waterfall) is beginning to discoloUr. When I made the appointment last week, the man told me not to add any more water until they got there (it makes diagnosing easier).

Well, there's now about a foot of water left!! I keep an eye on the fish--they seem fine. They have a deeper grotto under the waterfall, so they're ok fer now. (I woulda added water fer them if I had to ;) )

I hope it's a simple fix, but somephin tells me it ain't gonna be <_< Mefinks a couple post counts are comin home to roost :unsure:

Gawd--that poor woman! Mine is not like that at all--it's like a pin prick that you might have after a shot. The skin around it is perfectly normal looking. It really doesn't look like any sort of a reaction is happening.

Mark had Lyme a couple years ago--he actually developed the bulls eye rash (I was the one who spotted it--it was on the back inside of his arm). He also had a stiff neck, fatigue and a headache.

I'm hoping I got off with a warning this time--but I'm staying aware of the situation ;)

Yeah, light colored clothing, pants tucked in socks. :)

      To put this in perspective, most recent pretest "gluten challenge" guidelines for those having already been eating reduced gluten or gluten free for a significant time period is the daily consumption of 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of two weeks leading up to the day of testing (antibody or biopsy). And I would certainly give it more than two weeks to ensure a valid test experience. Short answer: If it were me, yes, I would assume I have celiac disease and launch full bore into gluten-free eating. I think the tTG-IGA is reliable enough and your score is solid enough to make that a reasonable conclusion. Here is an article to help you get off to a good start. It's easy to achieve a reduced gluten free state but much more difficult to achieve consistency in truly gluten-free eating. Gluten is hidden in so many ways and found in so many food products where you would never expect to find it. For example, soy sauce and canned tomato soup (most canned soups, actually), pills, medications, health supplements. It can be disguised in terminology. And then there is the whole issue of cross contamination where foods that are naturally gluten free become contaminated with gluten incidentally in agricultural activities and manufacturing processes: Eating out at restaurants is a mine field for those with celiac disease because you don't know how food is handled back in the kitchen. Gluten free noodles boiled in the same water that was used for wheat noodles, eggs cooked on the same griddle that French toast was, etc.

      Thank you for the response and article. I was placed on the Mediterranean diet and been on that now for about 3 weeks. While not gluten free I am eating very little bread or anything with gluten ie a slice of whole wheat bread every couple days so assume that would cause issues now with a biopsy.  With the condition my liver is in I am unsure moving back to higher bread consumption is ideal.  In this scenario would my test results be enough to assume positive Celiac and just move forward gluten free?

      Welcome to the forum, @MI-Hoosier! You are operating on a misconception about your "mixed" test results. You only had two celiac disease diagnostic tests run out of six that could have been ordered if your doctor had opted for a complete celiac panel. It is perfectly normal to not test positive for all possible celiac disease diagnostic tests. That is why there is more than one test option. It is the same way with other diagnostic testing procedures for many or most other diseases. Generally, when diagnosing a condition, a number of different tests are run and a diagnosis is arrived at by looking at the total body of evidence. The tTG-IGA test is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing and the one most commonly ordered by doctors. You were strongly positive for that test. It was not an unequivocal result, IMO.  Having said that, it is standard procedure to confirm a positive celiac disease blood antibody test result with an endoscopy/biopsy which is still considered the gold standard of celiac disease diagnosis. Had your tTG-IGA been 150 or greater, your doctor many have opted out of the endoscopy/biopsy. The absence of GI distress in the celiac disease population is very common. We call them "silent celiacs". That can change as damage to the lining of the small bowel worsens. Elevated liver enzymes/liver stress is very common in the celiac population. About 18% of celiacs experience it. I was one of them. Persistently elevated liver enzymes over a period of years in the absence of other typical causes such as hepatitis and alcohol abuse was what eventually led to my celiac disease diagnosis. But it took thirteen years to get that figured out. Within three months of going gluten free my liver enzymes were back into normal range. Thank goodness, there is more awareness these days about the many long fingers of celiac disease that are not found in the classic category of GI distress. Today, there have been over 200 symptoms/medical conditions identified as connected to celiac disease. It is critical that you not begin a gluten free diet until your endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel is over. Doing so before that procedure will invalidate it because it will allow healing of the small bowel lining to begin. Here is a link to an article covering celiac disease blood antibody testing:

      Hi,  I was recently diagnosed with stage 3 NASH and doctor is concerned something is caused my disease to progress quicker than they would expect.   During blood tests a celiac screen was pulled as my mom is a celiac. My ttg was a 49.4 (normal >15) but my endomysial antibody was negative. I have never had gluten symptoms and no issues with bread and am 54. Do I need a biopsy to rule celiac in or out with this mixed test? Any thoughts are appreciated.
